Giving Life and Color to Your Blog

I want to give some life and colour to my blog and make it a well designed blog. I do not know how to proceed. Please help me.

The first thing I have to say is that, in my experience as a designer, the simplest and quickest way to give life and color to your blog is to use WordPress. Why? Simply because WordPress is a bigger platform than Blogger or any other competitor. There are more designers actively creating awesome themes for WordPress than for any other blogging system.

For non-designers, this means a massive collection of high quality free and paid themes to choose from with new ones being released every day. For those who want to choose a theme and forget about it, WordPress includes a huge directory of free themes built into its administration panel.

For those do-it-yourself blog design types, there’s an awesome premium theme called Headway that lets you design your site as easily as you might lay out a word document. It comes with a Visual Editor that lets you drag, drop, pick and choose your design and the possibilities are endless. Headway simplifies my development process and allows me to focus on the details of the design rather than “making it work.” That’s why I use Headway on Blog Design Guy and every other site I own.

If you’re not able or interested in learning how to use a theme framework like Headway, but you want a great looking custom design, you should consider hiring a professional designer to create a custom theme for you. I offer custom blog design services to anyone in this category.

If you’re dead set on using Blogger, then the Template Designer is the way to go. To learn more about how to use the Template Designer, check out this Google help page. It should tell you everything you need to know.
